Patrick ended his 10-game point drought. He has five goals and 10 points in 25 contests this season. Over his 98 NHL games thus far, he's had some really good patches, but he hasn't been able to stay at that level yet. Still, he's just 20-years-old and has plenty of potential. Dec 10 - 9:42 AM

Nolan Patrick picked up a goal with an assist and a plus-2 rating in 15:38 of ice time in Tuesday's 3-2 win against the Anaheim Ducks.

Patrick has racked up three goals with four points over the past five outings. The multi-point effort was his first of the season, and just the fourth of his career. His last time with two or more points came on April 3, 2018 when he notched two goals and an assist in a road loss against the Islanders. Oddly enough, all four of his multi-point performances have come away from the City of Brotherly Love, too. Oct 31 - 5:43 AM

Sean Couturier picked up two goals and one assist in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Calgary Flames.

Couturier registered the primary assist on James van Riemsdyk's power-play goal in the second period (2-2). He then added the go-ahead goal (3-2) less than a minute later, and his shorthanded marker gave the Flyers a 5-3 lead in the third frame. Philly held on to that two-goal late into the third period, but Calgary managed to tie the game thanks to two quick goals inside the final two minutes of regulation. Johnny Gaudreau then won the game in overtime for Calgary. Couturier has 12 goals and 23 points in 27 games this season.

Scott Laughton scored a goal in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks.

He managed to put an end to his 14-game goalless drought in the process. The Flyers found themselves down 3-0 by the time Laughton found the back of the net late in the first period. Philadelphia is a mess right now, as they're officially in the basement of the Eastern Conference. Laughton has seven goals and 12 points in 31 games this season.

James van Riemsdyk scored a goal and assisted on another in Tuesday’s 3-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings.

van Riemsdyk got the game going with a great tip off a Claude Giroux shot to open the scoring with under 90 seconds left in the first period. The Red Wings were then able to tie it to start the second but Radko Gudas restored the lead with a secondary assist going to JvR. The 29-year-old winger is now up to four goals and nine points in 16 games this season.

It was the first time Raffl got on the scoresheet since Oct. 10. He has four assists in 13 games this season. He's not a major offensive threat either way, but traditionally he has found the back of the net more than provide helpers. However, he only has eight shots so far this season, so it's not surprising that he hasn't scored a goal yet.

Jordan Weal will be a healthy scratch on Thursday night against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Weal has three goals and seven points in 20 games this season but continues to produce uneven performances. This will be the second consecutive game that he sits. Christian Folin will also be a scratch.

Jakub Voracek picked up a goal on two shots across 20:35 of ice time in Friday's 4-1 road loss against the Edmonton Oilers.

Voracek ruined the shutout for Mikko Koskinen midway through the third period on a sweet pass from Claude Giroux, but that's all the offense the team was able to cobble together to support Anthony Stolarz. He is working on a seven-game point streak dating back to Nov. 27, posting four goals with eight points during the impressive span. He'll try to extend the streak in Vancouver on Saturday.

The Flyers got run over by the Jets on Sunday, losing 7-1. Philadelphia seemed to be on course to rebound Wednesday night against Calgary, but the Flyers blew 4-2 and 5-3 leads to lose 6-5 in overtime. "We’ve got to find a way to reset," Weise said. "We get embarrassed in Winnipeg. We’re playing OK there and we shoot ourselves in the foot. It’s embarrassing." The Flyers are now 12-13-4 this season. The good news is that the Metropolitan Division hasn't been too great so far, so the Flyers are only four points out of a playoff spot.

There wasn't a timetable immediately available, but given that we're talking about hip surgery, an educated guess would be that Laberge will be sidelined for a while. He had 17 goals and 47 points in 64 QMJHL games in 2017-18.

Shayne Gostisbehere scored a goal during Tuesday’s 8-2 loss to the San Jose Sharks.

Claude Giroux fed the puck to Gostisbehere at the point after a mad scramble in front that he blasted into the open cage for Philadelphia’s first goal of the night. After starting the season without any points through the opening two games, Gostisbehere is back on track. We shouldn’t read too into the 25-year-old’s slow start, Philly’s power play is one of the best in the NHL and that alone gives him a solid floor. Wayne Simmonds added a goal with 91 seconds remaining in regulation.

Ivan Provorov picked up a couple of helpers in Tuesday’s 4-3 loss to the Ottawa Senators.

Travis Konecny opened the scoring after Provorov’s lob pass from his own end, ended up on Claude Giroux’s stick who fed Konecny for the one-timer. Provorov then followed that up with a primary assist, this time finding Jakub Voracek in the slot for the goal. The Flyers held a 3-1 lead entering the third period, but a three-goal final period by the Senators got them the comeback win. The Russian rearguard will see his six-game pointless streak snapped. He’s up to nine points in 24 games this season. Radko Gudas also scored in the loss.

Andrew MacDonald picked up three assists in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.

What a night from MacDonald who got secondary assists on Philly's first three goals of the game (Travis Konecny, Claude Giroux and Dale Weise) for just his second, third and fourth points of the season. We wouldn't expect any other outings like these for MacDonald for quite some time. Jakub Voracek added one into an empty net.

Travis Sanheim (upper body) is expected to be sidelined for roughly a week.

Sanheim was hurt Sunday afternoon when he was hit by the Islanders' Matt Martin in the second period of their preseason game. It appeared that Sanheim's injury was to his shoulder. If there's a silver lining, it's that this happened early in the preseason, so Sanheim can afford to miss a week without it coming close to costing him any regular season games.

This will be the second straight game that Hagg has played alongside Provorov. They are slated to play against Colorado's high-scoring top line on Monday. Hagg had a plus-2 rating in 19:38 of ice time against New Jersey on Saturday. He has been productive this campaign with five points through eight outings.

Morin isn't expected to be ready to play until February due to a torn ACL. The Flyers also moved Michal Neuvirth to injured reserve on Tuesday, while Corban Knight, Pascal Laberge and Alex Lyon were moved to non-roster injured reserve.

Neuvirth was away from the team to be with his wife when she gave birth. He could be in line to serve as Carter Hart's backup on Tuesday night against Detroit. The Flyers have not confirmed a starter yet, but it wouldn't be a surprise if Hart made his NHL debut.

Tonight, was Hart's much anticipated first NHL start, getting a fairly easy win without having to do anything spectacular. He becomes the youngest goalie in Flyers history to get a win (20 years, 127 days) and the youngest in the NHL since Carey Price. Hart should be owned in every dynasty league and it wouldn't be a bad idea to scoop him up in season-long leagues if you are in need of goaltending help. His night ends with a 1-0-0 record, a 2.00 goals-against-average and a .909 save percentage. Has Philadelphia's savior in goal finally arrived?
